"Stayin Alive" Helps You Stay AliveComments:30

In a small study conducted at the University of Illinois medical school, doctors and students maintained close to the ideal number of chest compressions doing CPR while listening to the Bee Gees hit, "Stayin' Alive." At 103 beats per minute, the old disco song has almost the perfect rhythm to help keep accurate time while doing chest compressions. The study showed the song helped people who already know how to do CPR, and the results were promising enough to warrant larger, more definitive studies with real patients or untrained people. I wonder what intrinsic power is contained in "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?"

See? This is the kind of community spirit that idle encourages. Slashdotters who can't be bothered to kill a fellow Slashdotter as an act of charity. Truly, idle is pants.

I need to get out more, when I read "Staying Alive", I thought they were referring to Still Alive [vgcats.com].Which, when you think about it, would help you stay alive in the scenario that you wake up in an Aperture Science Lab.

And if it doesn't work, there's always Queen, "Another one bites the dust".

You say this as a joke, but my girlfriends ACLS instructor (she's a nurse) pointed out that you can, indeed, use Queen's "Another one bites the dust". The bpm is nearly identical.
Ironic.

Time to CPR an old post.
An easy way to remember the timing was shown to me by a paramedic and diving instructor.
30 compressions is the chorus of "Nellie The Elephant"
